A very good reason to make a day of it in Cape Town!

The Gift Fair brings together a curated selection of South African fashion, jewellery, beauty, accessories, children’s products, homeware and thoughtful gifts for five days of local discovery at the Baxter Theatre Centre.

Behind The Gift Fair are the women who make it happen.

The women who dream it up.
The women who build businesses from the ground up.
The women who create, make, bake, design, lead, inspire and keep showing up.

And then there are the women who have been part of The Gift Fair for years, our exhibitors, our community, our friends, our family.

This Women's Day, we're celebrating all of you.

Because The Gift Fair has never just been about what you can buy.

It's about the stories behind the businesses.
The people behind the products.
The passion behind the brands.

And the incredible women who bring so much of that magic to life.

Happy Women's Day from The Gift Fair.

Here's to the women who dream big, back themselves and create something beautiful along the way.

Every purchase has the power to make a difference.

On Mandela Day, we're reminded that even the smallest actions can create lasting impact.

At The Gift Fair, every purchase tells a story. Behind every handcrafted product, delicious treat, or beautifully designed gift is a local entrepreneur, a family business, a dream, and countless hours of dedication.

For 17 years, we've celebrated the incredible people who create, innovate and bring our event to life.

This Mandela Day, let's continue to support local, celebrate creativity, and remember that choosing local is one small way we can all make a difference.

"It is in your hands to make a better world for all who live in it." – Nelson Mandela

There are markets...
..and then there's The Gift Fair.

For 17 years, we've watched friendships grow, family traditions begin, and shoppers discover brands they return to year after year.

It's where Christmas lists get longer, "just one more look" turns into another shopping bag, and local businesses become household favourites.

This isn't just somewhere you come to shop.

It's where you discover.
It's where you connect.
It's where the festive season begins.
For some, it's shopping. For us, it's a tradition.
